Business Description

Mr. Fruity
“Quality is our Royalty”

Mr. Fruity | Business Plan Quality is our Royalty

Business Description

The business idea (selling fresh and dry fruits) originated from a deep discussion of
friends Sabih, Waqas and Mujtaba Malik. In which we have analyzed that there
are supermarkets, weekend bazaars and some fruit shops doing the same business.
We thought about improving the business that if we provide a home delivery service and
well fresh cut and packed fruits in a very hygienic environment, the business can even
double the profits because of every one’s cry for a healthy life. Fruits play a very
important role in keeping the human body fresh and healthy and can prolong the
human life, because Fresh fruits give us many beneficial substances such as vitamins,
energy and other requirements for our human body.

It acts as a catalyst in safeguarding the human system from various diseases, so fruits
are a necessity in the modern world for the human system.

Uniqueness of Product

The business is named „‟Mr. Fruity‟‟ that provides dry and fresh cut fruits that are well
packed and hygienic. Initially these fruits include apples, pears, peaches, apricots,
melon, water melon, strawberries, mangoes, almond, walnuts, dates and peanuts
and later depending on the customer’s needs. The home delivery and high quality and
hygienic processing environment will make the product to attract many customers and
create a
wider market share.

Packaging is very important to prevention of the product against external environment


it will also improve on the convenience and functionality of the product without
changing its taste and freshness. Our products will be packed in clean disposable
container of high quality material, wrapped in a low density polyethylene to seal the
top clearly to prevent it from the harm of any external environment. Immediately after
packaging the package will be put in a refrigerator under recommended temperatures by
the quality controller ready for supply.

share. In case fruits are remained from packaging we can produce some natural juice
from different fresh fruits which may help us avoiding loss of the business.

The company is intended to sell and provide home delivery services to universities,
offices, hotels and restaurants.

Goals

To provide unique and excellent product and delivery services to all


our customers.
To expand the business and serve all the homes, restaurants, hotels, universities
and offices of Islamabad and Rawalpindi.
To produce natural juice out of the different fresh fruits.
To link the company with any interested investors to expand the business
and export our products.
To improve quality control system from harvesting to available for sale.
To protect the product freshness and sell as quickly as possible after
the packaging.

Industry Analysis

The fresh fruit sub sector falls within the fruit and vegetable sector. This sector has
become important to t h e e c o n o m y o f P a k i s t a n . According to the
C e n s u s o f Manufacturing Industries there were 924 units engaged in the
manufacture of Food and Beverages. The processed food and beverages industry is
considered to be one of the largest industrial sectors in Pakistan. It accounts for
approx. 27% of total production and 16% of total employment in the manufacturing
sector. The total value of production was over Rs. 46 billion.

Pakistan produces a wide variety of fruits and vegetables, with total annual production
7
estimated at 9 million metric tons. Production estimates for various fruits are over 1.9
million metric tons citrus 989,000 metric tons, mangoes 438,000 metric tons, apples

525,000 metric tons, guavas 126,000 metric tons, apricots and other fruits 1.914
million tons, other fruits include bananas, grapes, pomegranates, pears and dates.

The growth rate in the food industry has been estimated at 10.00 per cent per annum.
The most rapidly growing items are fruit juices, dairy products, fish processed, bakery
items, sugar, biscuits and confectioneries, and other soft beverages. Rapid export growth
has characterized fish preparation, fruit preserves, dry fruits, some beverages and
sugar, and honey preparation. Food products (except rice) do not however, make up a
significant proportion of Pakistani exports and there is a considerable potential for
expanding such exports, especially to Europe and the Gulf region.

This analysis shows that there is huge potential for Mr. Fruity to step forward in fruit
business to make this industry effective in Pakistan so that other countries like to
build relationship with us for fruit business.

Marketing

Mr. Fruity
“Quality is our Royalty”

Prepared By: Waqas, Sabih and


Mujtaba
Mr. Fruity | Business Plan Quality is our Royalty

Research And Analysis

If the business is new or old the marketing is necessary to touch with your customers
and attract new. Its planning is highly a big job because if company produces such
customized products but if it cannot convey to its customers properly it will be flop on
the other hand if it will done according to the customers mind the low quality products
can be sold.

Target Market

The major area of marketing is to know your customers, so Mr. Fruity is aware about
its target customers and market. Basically the target customers for this business are
the household people and events celebrators. The household who like fruit for their
daily use, for their children etc., and those celebrate different events like Eid, Ramadan,
Marriage ceremony, Birthdays, Business meetings or Conferences and some others.

Geographically, initially we will target the Islamabad and Rawalpindi, especially


most developed areas like E-11, F-6 to F-11, G-6 to G-11, I-8 to I-10, Bahria Town
Islamabad, Sattelite Town, Westridge and Chaklala Schemes Rawalpindi etc. If
we talk about economic condition of our customers then we consider those who can
buy fruits 2 to 5 KG a week, or those who consume 2-5 KG in a week. And those
people who want to gift fruits in specific session can be included in our target market.

Market Size and Trends

Size

As our target market is Islamabad and Rawalpindi, both cities are developed and
people are living here economically strong and educated. That’s why the trend of buying
fruits is high. More than 10% people buy fruits daily, near 20% people buy twice a week
and near
35% people buy once a week. So in one week 65% of Islamabad buy fruits once a
week. So in 2500000 people only 160000 people buy fruits once a week and it’s a huge
size of
customers.
10

Trends

Fruits Consumption is really high in Pakistan; approximately 40% to 50% of


total production is used in Pakistan and only 5%-10% exported. So we can say there is a
huge market of fruits and the business which discussed above is very poor, now
customers are very upset with it. Because due to high number of intermediates the
profit margin is too high and low quality also confused the customers. They are just
buying because they have no alternative.

Here this market needs a company like Mr. Fruity who provide quality fruits
in reasonable prices, at any time anywhere at home.

When the events came the consumption increased dramatically, with this situation the
prices also increased. Even some times the high prices do not change the demand as it
increased like Holy Ramadan. It is also opportunity for us.

Most of the people in Islamabad belong to different cities of Pakistan, some are far
and some are near. In Islamabad it’s a trend of people that in the session of any fruit
like in summer the mangos or in winter the oranges. Fruits are gifted by their
relatives in different cities. So the relatives buy fruits in their cities and send to
Islamabad. This process take time and efforts, here we will give service with name
“Fruity Gift”.

Competition

In any industry competition always create threats for new and old businesses. In
fruits industry there is no company who is selling fruits with a specific brand name like
us, and no company providing such services like home delivery, fruits gifts, etc. But if
we see critically the Pakistan market in fruits industry the competition is high among
fruits dealers, in whole Pakistan. But in Islamabad and Rawalpindi it little bit
dramatically. There is a big Fruits Market called Fruit Mandi for retailers, then many
“Well Managed” Weekly Bazar, those open three days in a week. People can buy
easily in low prices.
Then a number of fruits shops in each sector. They have basically captured the market
and can affect us.

Expected Market Share

To see the response of customers we conduct a survey, this survey conducted in


different areas of Islamabad and Rawalpindi. Our survey report tells that in this 65%
of people
80% respond positive, but it is an ideal case. Initially we expect that only 40000
people respond us by making their first order after it our marketing strategy basically
improve our sales. That time we easily attract the customers. We have taken assumption
that our sale will be more than 25% of ordinary Fruits Shops.

Marketing Plan
Market Strategy (Sales and
Distribution)

Sales and distribution is the core of any marketing plan of any business, because as
you make easy and access of customers you can increase sale. Mr. Fruity is also
focusing on these components. As our business has two main parts Outlet or
Shop and Home delivery, we will make both more effective as we can.

In Home delivery there will be a system and specific timing. We will have our
transportation system which can be access the whole market effectively. There will be
a central “Store” from we will start, it will be Tarnol Islamabad, which can easily
access the both Islamabad and Rawalpindi. We will do delivery on “Cary Van” which
will be safe and easy. Each van has a driver and a salesman/helper.

We`ll also have an Outlet/Shop most probably in F-6 sector Islamabad. It contains all
kinds of fruits which we are providing. There will be customized counters with defreeze
system and well furnished. People can buy from there easily.

Pricing

It’s an important factor for any company to select per unit price which overcome its
cost and some profit margin. Very important thing is that consumers can easily afford
it. So
our pricing strategy will be according to market and customer
affordability.

Basically in start our pricing strategy will be skimming, to get some part of market share. 12
But it will be only for first six months. So after that we will make strategy to penetrate in
market. Cost plus profit margin will be our price, this cost include carrying cost, storage

Prepared By: Waqas, Sabih and


Mujtaba
Mr. Fruity | Business Plan Quality is our Royalty

cost, labor and transportation of delivery. The profit margin which we include after
eight months will be reasonable and less than other fruits dealer.

As our service is new for people and has many unique characteristics so it is possible
that our price can be higher then other fruits shops in market, but it will be not too
high. The reason of little highness is our uniqueness and extra services like, home
delivery, hygiene packing, quality, expiration etc.

Advertising and Promotions

With all other efforts and unique service we will inform our customers through
advertising. This advertising will be done with most fast medium of marketing like,
direct marketing, telemarketing, SMS marketing, ads and banners in different
channels and locations in Islamabad.

Our marketing campaigns include the awareness about use of fruits, information about
benefits of different fruits. Customers will be informed about us, our uniqueness, our
important and our all services.

We will make a website that also be a part of marketing; it contains lot of


information about different kinds of fruits, their usage and benefits. Even the
importantance of fruits in our daily life will be mention in it. Customers can give their
comments, feedback on it.

We will add values to our services like free home service to specific areas, extra
fruits, and free hygiene packing martial etc to promote our business. We also can sponsors
to different events.

Management Team

Initially those who will start business with us will be the basically team members of
our company. Even they will not invest in business in form of money, but they will

key personal of this business because they give the idea. Secondly if any one who
want to invest in this business and also be a part of our management can be a
partner of this business. So he/she will be the part of key personals. The maximum key
personals will be five.

The management structure of our business like American style, there will be a CEO
under him four managers of departments will work. Each manager will be the head of
his department. Under each manager at least one team will perform task according to
his department, like in Marketing and CRS department there will be a Manager and one
team will work for CRS and one team will work for marketing.

Legal Structure

We will try our best that managers will be experts in fruits and their protection; they
know the market behavior in fruits demand. No high education is required for our
business, but some experience of fruit markets and their supply and demand process.

Board of Directors

All key personals, all investors, all managers, some fruits experts and some consultant
will be the part of our board of directors. They will meet once in three months and
discuss and look for new demand, markets, new ways to protect fruits for a long time

Production

The company will rent a house in Tarnol Islamabad from where we can easily deliver
our services and products to all sectors of Islamabad and some sectors of Rawalpindi.
The production center will be divided into 3 main sections

Reception Section for raw materials (Weighting, Receiving of raw material, Quality
control)

Processing Section (Peeling and cutting, Sizing, Packaging and labeling, Quality
control)

Administration and supply section (Marketing office, Quality control office, Record
office, Director Office, A space for a big refrigerator for finished products ready for
supply)

Quality assurance

The company plans to invest much in the quality control system to meet the required
quality and standards as required by the customers and to solve this problem the
company will ensure that it is registered and certified to meet the required standards by
the law.

Customer service

Getting daily reports about the needs of the customers from sales representatives to
the marketing officer, director, and quality controller will help us much in quickly
reacting to our customers’ needs and provide an immediate solution.

Location

The main office and the warehouse will initially are located in Tarnol and Outlet will be
17
in F- 6 sector of Islamabad from where we can easily deliver our products and services to
all other sectors of Islamabad and some parts of Rawalpindi.

Equipment’s, tools and materials (machines)

Refrigerators, cleaning materials, cutting and peeling equipments, electricity,


water, office furniture, office phone, computers, packaging materials, receipts and
stamps, ceiling machine.

Managing Credit Sales

We will intend to not involve much in crediting but those buying on special orders and
in large businesses will be given one to two weeks to pay, for example we will be giving
our products to some special parties, super markets, hotels, restaurants etc.

Suppliers and buyers of the


company

The company will have powerful suppliers from different cities of Pakistan having
good varieties of fresh fruits and dry fruits. But also the company will be purchasing
these fruits directly from farmers in various parts of the country with different
growing seasons. This will help the company to be assured of the continuous supply of
the fresh fruits throughout the year since different regions have different growing and
harvesting seasons due to variations in climate, so that we can make fruits available at
any time for our customers. Most of the buyers of our products will be in all the
categories of people both high and middle class. Since our product will be of high
quality but with affordable
prices, we expect a good number of buyers to boost our
business.

Taxation
Taxation would be having a noticeable impact on our business depending size of the
business. Initially we will be starting this business on small scale so it won’t be affecting
us to much but as soon as the business will be expanded the tax impact on our business
will be more and more depending upon the government policies.

Critical Risks

Mr. Fruity
“Quality is our Royalty”

22

Prepared By: Waqas, Sabih and


Mujtaba
Mr. Fruity | Business Plan Quality is our Royalty

Potential Problems, Obstacles and Risks

Risks are danger if we ignore them, but it can be blessing of God if take them like
challenge and plan it before time. So here we will look the risks which we can face
in future like political insatiability, fruits crisis, transportation, energy crisis, lake of
experts, storage, damage fruits, quality fruits, financial issues etc.

Political Insatiability

Pakistan is basically politically insatiable country, from last decade we are living in
a danger environment. So it is a big risk for our business because, if there will be any
instability the ultimate tension will create for customers as well as our suppliers. So
to solve these issues we will make a backup plan from supplier side. In customer side it
will be not a big issue because in Islamabad the political party cannot work for a long
time. So we will store fruits in storage factories. It will help us to fulfill demand of
customers.

Fruit Crisis

One of the big issue in Pakistan is crisis of different recourses, these issue because
increase in exports or smuggling of recourses. So in future it may be an issue of
fruits crisis in local market due to export to international market. So for this purpose
we will contract to direct farmer in different agriculture areas.

Transportation

Actually in Pakistan some time transporter work as agent to deliver goods to other
place, especially from Karachi to other cities. During this whene ver any strike or late
in delivery, stop the transport at any city. So in major cities the demand of transport
dramatically increased which becomes a cause of high price of delivery of goods. So
with this issue first we will make a backup plan by storing specific amount of fruits.
But in ling term we will make our own transportation system. By hiring or by buying
our own
transport.
23
Prepared By: Waqas, Sabih and
Mujtaba
Mr. Fruity | Business Plan Quality is our Royalty

Energy Crisis

No doubt we need energy for our store or shop but it is not a big job for us because
we are not manufacturing concern. So for little energy crisis we will arrange generator for
our business use.

Lake Of Experts

One of the big issues of our business will be at the time of hiring employees, that we
will unable to hire experts in our business. Actually we need these experts because we
want to maintain quality of fruits. These are the experts, who know about fruits
and their protection methods, can be difficult to find and it will be a major issue if
we can't find these kinds of people. So for this purpose first we will try our best that
we find these people at any cost. Even we will give share in profit; we will try to
make them partners by asking them to invest in our business. If it will not possible
then we will do this business in fruits market for some time, during this time we will
get fruits from fruits market.

Storage Issues

Storage issues and damages of fruits is a big issue of this business. The remaining
fruits which are not sold are one of the major issues. It will be just waste of money and
nothing, even to maintain quality we are not able to store them for a long time.
Because our customers will not like them, and some fruits are not even protected more
than 24 hours like cherry, banana etc. So we have an alternative plan that we will
start our two by products. One "Juice" and second is "Fruit Chart". For juice we will
contract with any beverage factory like Murree beverage etc. they will make juice with
our brand name. Second we will open different outlets of Fruits Charts like in F-10,
F-8 or Karachi Company with our brand name or we contract with different Fruits
Chart Maker to take
a specific amount of daily from
us.

24

Mujtaba
Mr. Fruity | Business Plan Quality is our Royalty

Fruits Damage and Quality of


Fruits

Same with quality, first we will try our very best that we get quality fruits. Because
our competitive edge is basically is quality and service. So we will contract with
suppliers on the behalf of quality, even we will pay more than market price. But there is
a chance that we get low quality fruits, and then we will send it to Juice and Fruits
Charts. This work
will do by our procurement Department at the time of separating and
packing.

Alternative Course of Action

To get rid of the above mentioned problems, we would take some active yet affective
steps. Some of the problems are not in our control that could not be minimized but many
of them can be minimized by
• In the time of fruit crises if we would be having direct contacts with the farmer,
garden owners so we won’t be facing any problem in this problem.
• Transporters may go on strike due to some reason and to minimize this risk of
getting or delivering fruits on time, it would be our utmost desire to get our own
vehicles.
• Energy crises is a serious problem in Pakistan but we would not only be relying on
the govt. sector to provide us the electricity but also try to have some alternative
ways to produce electricity for ourselves initially on generators than later on may
go for solar energy.
• Due to the storage problem of some fruits we would be having in contact with the
juice factories that would make juices for us by our brand name.

Transfer of Asset

It is important for the entrepreneur to plan the orderly transition of the venture as it
grows and develops. As the business will grow we will go for the new venture, but
before it we will try our level best to make an excellent good will of our business so that
many of the new investors should take interest in order to invest in it even if you could
acquire it.

Continuity of Business Strategy

After when the business would be started and reach at the stage of growth and near to
maturity level we may need to alter our strategy of business due to the changes in the
market needs and changes in the market expectations we would be going to decide
whether to continue the existing strategy or to apply a new strategy according to the
changing scenario. It even depends that we keep on moving on this same business or to
change our way to some other related business.

Identify Successors

It would be our top most priority to go to the market with first mover strategy, and to take
all the advantages of this strategy. But at the time of growth we need to be careful that this
strategy gives birth to the firms to go into the market with the second mover strategy as a
follower and take benefit of the mistakes if we did. And even we have to be aware during
our own strategy that whatever mistakes we are doing or committed by us then we need to
take active steps to remove those from our strategy and alter our strategy according to the
needs and expectation of the market as well as according to the strategy of the successors.
